Eternal damnation? We had the holy name, we were following the Tao.The way I heard it one could very easily fall off the boat into the ocean, there to be gobbled up by one's internal sharks or something similar.
So you are saying that I and the people who thought like me were shit? Gee thanks!
Sorry, I should've put a smiley face after that sentence, but tell me..........did you ever explain your pov to your fellow premies at the time, by giving satsang about it in a room full of your peers?
We weren't in the ashram. Ship out to where?
Precisely. Neither was I, but I didn't much fancy finding out where 'where' was.
